Very hard to have a person do just one move and pass it on. Perhaps allow five seconds? A bit of spectacular solving would be to have someone make five or six moves and let the solver work out how to unscramble it in the same number of moves. Kate Fried in Budapest could do four moves, perhaps five, regularly.
